Captain midnight and 
Captain cruise out on the ocean like a storm of bad news it took three monkeys in a plastic mac to fit inside a paper sack 
And they're cooking up an alibi cooking up some steam out in the madness somewhere in 
Orleans they had a plan, they had a plot beggars and blues was all they got 
Black cold coffee black 
Irish soup cold on a silver spoon she's dancing through hoops 
Baby's wishing on a wishing well she's moving up and ringing her bell can't fly to heaven on a persian rug so put some coins in the old sailor mug 
They travelled up together from the coast east of 
Aldgate silently like ghosts they had a scam, they had a scheme for drunks and bums counting beans 
Black cold coffee black 
Irish soup cold on a silver spoon she's dancing through hoops 
Solo Black cold coffee black 
Irish soup cold on a silver spoon she's dancing through hoops
